In Your Toes

"In Your Toes"

For many years stories have been around the world. From the moment we are

born we are told stories from our love ones. As a kid we find stories to be a source of

learning and imagination. Many of us grew up with the habit of our parents putting us into

bed by reading a story to us. As we grow older we learn that stories are compose of

many things like poetry, music, and films. As for me, one element that I like about stories

is descriptive writing

Getting the reader's mind into understanding what is going on in the story cannot

always be accomplished. For example, by using vivid words it can cause the reader to

feel fear like the character in the story. Stephen King is an example writer that puts

feeling into his writing. In "The Boogeyman", King, set a standard of fearing the closet.

He begins by describing the scene and leads into the massacre. The main idea of

descriptive writing is to make the reader feel part of the story. King has a way of turning

his stories around without losing the reader by leading into the point. The use of

descriptive words is what makes the story more interesting for the reader.

At last, making the words clear helps the reader get a better picture of what is

happening in the story. I hate when there is a lot of confusion and I have to go back into

reading the story again in order for me to understand. Keeping the reader in their toes

and wanting more is what makes a good writer, and the best way of doing it is by being

descriptive.
